Robert,

I got 4 out of 4... the result of good guesswork. |

I got 4 out of 4 even when I was trying to guess wrong. I think there's a system glitch... |

Sorry about the delay in answering.
To answer your question, Sofie, it is a site for a psychology thesis attempting to show that the use of exemplars can lead to higher scores in a second language.
YOu do 4 questions and you are sent back to do those you get wrong.
As to answer Bobd -the d n t l s rule applies, so if you were trying to get one wrong by pressing for a lenited feminine after 'an' it would be deemed wrong.
also, while I weighted the Javascript to 2:1 in most pages for wrong answers, runnign off the server, there seems to be a weighting towards correct scores, so consequently there is a higher than expected by chance rate of corrects scores.
As for the pages, they were tested and retested to amke sure they are correct. I can understand if people are reluctant to use it in case it is wrong, but it is for a student project, and it is about hypothesis testing, so you cannot see it as a real training program.
So no, there is not a glitch, only people a) over generalising adn getting it right b) the JS running different off a server than on a local disk (I suspect) and c) I got rid of thing like dative contructions that ahd to be inflected like genetives as I thought it was too hard for a beginner, but it seems it is too easy now... |

Yep, you are right...
some corruption has developed such that it is difficult to get even 1 wrong.
I retried it...When it went up it was OK, but it seems to be outputting to 1 end of the branch each time...
And the ammount of time I spent on it...
There might be problems with the hosting companies server as it had to eb forced literally to upload by holding open the connexion. PLus the last site with the dialogue box corrupted for no reason too, so...
KEEP CLEAR!
Anyay, while it did work, I got my data. Mission done, thanks to all that did it. You'll get a thanks (collectivly) in my thesis! |
